We'd recommend renumbering the tracks; this is actually part of the policy for a few bands. Damien Rice is one of them off the top of my head, and you can see the notes here:

Wouldn't this cause even more confusion, with people thinking they have the complete version of a show when in fact their version is missing a track?

It seems like skipping a number would at least signify that there was, at some point in time, another song available. Documentary value, if nothing else. A comment in the "notes" section along the lines of "d1t03 was deemed embarrassing to the performer, who wishes to dodge all responsibility for it, and is hence not included in this recording" would clear up enough confusion.

And, NoiseCollector - I agree.

That was my initial hunch, but going by Tyler's notes on Damien Rice's page, it seems the preference is sequentially-numbered tracks with a note in the text file. As long as it's documented, I suppose you can do whatever you want, but the precedent is in the link I posted above.
